Great! ;-)

Sorry for the confusion - d/control says:
Uploaders: Maarten L. Hekkelman <maar...@hekkelman.com>,
that's what I meant. I'm also sorry for the confusion - I somehow
was under the impression that we are talking about libzstd. My whole
previous mail probably makes no real sense then. ;-)

You are member of the team - so you are permitted to push to Git
whatever you want. To avoid further confusion I simply imported the
pristine-tar information now. May be you re-read Debian Med policy[1]
and seek for pristine-tar (and claim here on the list if something is
not clear enough ;-) )

Well, "Uploader" is the term we use inside d/control. To get real
permissions to upload a Debian package you need to become at least
a Debian Maintainer[2]. Otherwise we keep on working as before and
I simply sponsor what you prepared in Git (as we did all the time but
so much happened in the last time that I was a bit out of sync with
your package - sorry about this).

Whatever you might decide - we can proceed like before if you are OK
with this but if you want to become a DM and want direct Upload
permissions for your packages that would be fine as well.
Kind regards and sorry again for the confusion
Andreas.
